Advanced Treatment in Cancer: A Critic Review

Ananda kudari, Chetan Ramesh Sangati

Abstract


Cancer, also called malignancy, is an abnormal growth of cells. The malignancy can occur elsewhere in the body, irrespective of any organ. Different types of cancers show the different kinds of signs and symptoms; it depends upon the type of cancer and organ. Diagnosis of cancer is a paramount in treating cancer. Complete blood test, endoscopy, bronchoscopy, colonoscopy, CT scan, MRI scan, fine needle aspiration cytology, biopsy and any more are the diagnostic evaluation of the patient with any type of the cancers. Treatment for cancer varies which depends upon the types of cancer. In general, management of cancer may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy and may be surgeries. This essential follow-up phase of diagnosis is called staging. Traditionally, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery were practiced for cancer, but other than these there are so many advanced treatments available for cancer treatment like laser therapy, RNA interference therapy, photosensitizer therapy, hyperthermia, DNA cages, cancer vaccines,stem cell and bone marrow transplantation, gene therapy, etc.
